It has growing relevance to literary studies, the arts, and religious scholarship, along with branches of political theory, not to mention our understanding of science. But philosophies and sciences of mind have lagged behind this pragmatic turn, for the most part retaining a central-nervous-system orientation, which pragmatists reject as too narrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatthew Crippen, a philosopher of mind, and Jay Schulkin, a behavioral neuroscientist, offer an innovative interdisciplinary theory of mind. They argue that pragmatism in combination with phenomenology is not only able to give an unusually persuasive rendering of how we think, feel, experience, and act in the world but also provides the account most consistent with current evidence from cognitive science and neurobiology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrippen and Schulkin contend that cognition, emotion, and perception are incomplete without action, and in action they fuse together. Not only are we embodied subjects whose thoughts, emotions, and capacities comprise one integrated system; we are living ecologies inseparable from our surroundings, our cultures, and our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRanging from social coordination to the role of gut bacteria and visceral organs in mental activity, and touching upon fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and plant cognition, Crippen and Schulkin stress the role of aesthetics, emotions, interests, and moods in the ongoing enactment of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSynthesizing philosophy, neurobiology, psychology, and the history of science, \u003cem\u003eMind Ecologies\u003c\/em\u003e offers a broad and deep exploration of evidence for the embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended nature of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000684069100,"sku":"9780231190251","price":118.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7959213482270.jpg?v=1763296753"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/matthew-crippen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
